    found out that Pan is a prequel to Peter Pan. This did not stop me though! When watching the two movies‚ there was still many differences and similarities between the two. I will be talking about the characters‚ how the film was set up‚ the changes in music‚ and the things that were missing‚ and kept‚ from the first movie to the second.

    Peter Pan. You hear that name and you automatically think of pirates‚ fairies‚ lost boys‚ Wendy and her two brothers on the adventures they had in Never Never Land. The 1953 cartoon movie‚ Peter Pan‚ is mainly about him living out his life as a young boy‚ never to grow up. He and the lost boys live their lives fighting evil pirates‚ swimming with mermaids and just having dangerous but fun adventures.

    ‘O Wendy lady‚ be our mother.’ (Peter Pan:1911:101) ‘A lady to take care of us.’(Peter Pan:1911:89) Women have been idealized in a rather traditional way in Peter Pan.

It seems that Barrie‚ referring to the personalities of Mrs. Darling and her daughter Wendy- are essentially pure‚ angelic and sacrificing motherly figures. They are sought after by all male roles including the pirates and the boys- (both good and evil)

    I suddenly‚ and quite strangely‚ have found myself conflicted about Peter Pan. I thought I knew the story‚ believed I was familiar with it. My Mother has used the term "Peter Pan Syndrome" to describe nearly every young member of our family at one time or another. It means you never want to grow up‚ just like the boy in Walt Disney’s animation. Peter wants to play in Never Land forever and avoid responsibility while careening through the air amid pirates and redskins and a strange yet hopeful band

    Who doesn’t know the story by J.M. BarriePeter Pan? The lovely tale of a boy who never grew up‚ how magical. I trusted that man with my story‚ but so much was lost in translation I guess. Peter Pan he called it‚ why? Pan may have been the protagonist in his fairy tale‚ but in my tale‚ the true tale‚ he was a villain. He was the villain‚ he ruled over Neverland like a dictator rules over slaves. Yet‚ I still fell for him‚ I was young‚ my feelings were clouded‚ as well as my judgement. In my defense

    Peter Pan is no doubt one of the most appealing subjects for "deep" psychological analysis. Interpretations of this character run from the pop-psychology term the "Peter Pan Syndrome" coined by Dr. Dan Kiley (1983) to refer to adult males who refuse to grow up and face their responsibilities‚ through Kenneth Kidd’s (2004) sociocultural study of boys and the feral tale which questions Peter’s masculinity and sexuality‚ to his alleged homosexuality which‚ according to Dore Ripley (2006)‚ reflects Victorian
